the sony ericson W850i is the ultimate music phone i have encountered so far!!!! i have had the K700i and recently the V600i which had major limitations in terms of memory so in using the W850i it was like a whole new world sudenly opened up for me. mad props to you guyz at sony ericsson!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im sorry what i ment for ribbon problem was its flex cable; mechanism used for the phones slider, this unit has 2 a half flex and a whole flex cable, the slider life depends on how the user handles his unit as per sony ericsson authorized center here in manila where i have my handset repaired

hi guys! just want to ask is it normal my w850i had a ribbon problem, needs replacement, and it will only turn one year old this november. im very careful in using the slider mechanism, i need feed back about slider phones is this their common hardware problem? thank s a lot
